Man arrested in latest incident at Classic Soulz club

Memphis police have arrested a man for allegedly shooting into a crowd outside a nightclub in February, wounding two women.

Keeshund Prewitt, 33, has been charged with two counts of reckless endangerment. He is being held on $75,000 bond.

According to police, the incident happened Feb. 20 at Club Classic Soulz at 1027 E. Brooks. That follows another double-shooting that happened at the same club about six weeks earlier.

In this instance, police said several people were fighting outside the club. Two women were outside, and when shots rang out, they ran back into the club. That’s when they realized they’d been shot, police said, with one wounded in the arm and the other in the foot.

Police reviewed surveillance video and, according to an affidavit, saw Prewitt firing into a crowd of people. Prewitt admitted shooting his gun outside the club that night, according to an affidavit. Prewitt has two prior drug arrests on his record.

The club has a history of violence. Mareecus Benson was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder in the Jan 5 shooting at the club. Benson, who has a dollar sign tattooed around his right eye, was kicked out of the but returned and began firing.

In December 2008, four people were wounded when a suspect and a security officer started firing shots.
